The Social Stock Exchange Association aims at promoting the establishment of social stock exchanges within regular existing stock markets. We believe this eases the transition from a focus solely on financial return to a "hybrid" return of social, ecological and financial "returns" for investors. To date, there is only one such exchange worldwide, implemented in 2003 by Celso Grecco at BOVESPA, the world's third largest stock market.
The SSEA is now implementing a similar social stock market in Portugal, within Euronext Lisbon.
